Technician Note

A worn pulley can create noise, rough travel, or belt/rail tracking issues. If the old pulley is damaged, check surrounding rail hardware and belt alignment before putting the opener back in service.

Before Ordering

  • Confirm the opener model is ATS211, ATS211R, or another model that lists K144B0018.
  • Compare the old pulley to the 2 in. outside diameter and 1/2 in. bore reference.
  • Inspect the pulley shaft, rail bracket, and belt/rail alignment.
  • Check for excessive tension or binding that may have damaged the original pulley.
  • Do not substitute a different pulley size unless the parts diagram supports it.

Professional Advisory

Do not operate the opener with a seized pulley, frayed belt, or unstable rail hardware. If the door or rail binds during travel, have the door and opener inspected before continued use.
